Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2155: Chapter 234: This Emperor Bans Wang Ningxi for 1,000 Years (Part 4)

“Military funding? With just a few funds from the military, you expect to maintain an elite Asura Legion?” The Little Demon Sovereign was furious. “Although the Asura Legion is not the private army of the Chao Clan, more than ninety percent of the support comes from our Chao Clan and the Demon Lord, so naturally, it should listen to the orders of our Chao Clan.”

“Goodness, your Chao Clan spends a lot of money to support the regular army of the Demonic Court and still wants to force the regular army to obey your orders.” The Third Prince appeared “utterly shocked,” “What is it that your Chao Clan is trying to do? Is our Red Moon Demon Dynasty’s imperial family actually surnamed [Chao], or is it [Shentu]?”

“You…” The Little Demon Sovereign immediately realized his slip of tongue, hurriedly calming himself, “Your Highness, our Red Moon Demon Dynasty is, of course, surnamed [Shentu].”

“No, no, no, the Red Moon Demon Dynasty is not surnamed Shentu. The Red Moon Demon Dynasty belongs to all noble families, and we, the Shentu Clan, merely manage the Red Moon Demon Dynasty on behalf of everyone as the imperial family.” The Third Prince solemnly corrected, “Please correct your thinking, Young Master Chao.”

The Little Demon Sovereign’s face turned red and white alternately.

It was the first time he felt the cunning of Shentu Jingming. In his eyes, Shentu Jingming used to be just an incapable prince not worth his attention.

He never expected that one day he would be rendered speechless by ridicule from him.

Chao Qianjue was unaware that the Third Prince Shentu Jingming possessed an extraordinary talent for verbal sparring, often angering even the Demon Emperor to the point of losing his appetite, who eventually resolved it by hitting him with a slap. This situation was nothing out of the ordinary for him.

“The wisdom of the Third Prince, the illustrious name of the Third Prince.”

Those around them, witnessing this scene for the first time, were exhilarated and began flattering the Third Prince enthusiastically.

The Little Demon Sovereign was on the verge of exploding with anger, desperately searching for words to retort.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, two impressive streaks of light approached from afar, landing at the scene.

The newcomers were, of course, two Transcendent Void Realm powerhouses.

One was the Commander-in-chief of Demonic Base No.2, the renowned [Lord Youshuang of Demons] among the Demon Dynasty’s Demon Lords, and the other was the close confidant of the Demon Lord, [Elder Yun].

As soon as Lord Youshuang of Demons landed, he warmly greeted the Third Prince with a smile, his attitude very courteous, “Your Highness, you are truly outstanding ~ congratulations on winning great honor for our Demon Dynasty and welcome back in victory.”

“Lord Youshuang, you flatter me.” The Third Prince immediately bowed, appearing modest, “Jingming’s success is all due to your excellent deployment, command, and leadership.”

Flattery, though overdone, always works.

This allocation of credit slightly comforted Lord Youshuang, as not everything during this time had been bad.

“Demon Lord.” The Little Demon Sovereign also greeted.

“Oh, Qianjue is back too?” Lord Youshuang gave him a slight glance, “You’ve had a tough time leading the army recently, go back and have a good rest.”

Compared to his enthusiasm for the Third Prince, Lord Youshuang was a bit more indifferent towards the Little Demon Sovereign, maintaining a business-like distance.

Clearly, the Little Demon Sovereign’s arrogant refusal of his remote command, resulting in extremely unfavorable consequences, had thoroughly angered Lord Youshuang.

Were it not for the consideration of the Demon Lord’s face, Lord Youshuang might have directly punished him with serious charges.

As a Commander-in-chief of a base, Lord Youshuang commanded a vast number of troops with significant power in his hands, and although he was also Transcendent Void Realm like Gong Litu, the weight he carried was entirely different.

While the Little Demon Sovereign could command Gong Litu at will, Lord Youshuang, let alone the Little Demon Sovereign, both the Demon Lord and the Demon Emperor would grant him some respect and pay serious attention to his opinions.

“Demon Lord…”

The Little Demon Sovereign, straining his neck, was about to say something else when Elder Yun urgently transmitted a message to stop him: “Young Master, don’t say anything for now.”

“Elder Yun…” The Little Demon Sovereign opened his mouth, still somewhat unwilling.

But before he could continue speaking, Elder Yun firmly grabbed him, retreating: “Lord Youshuang, I’ll take Qianjue back to rest first.”

“Oh.”

Lord Youshuang indifferently waved his hand, appearing completely unconcerned.

After Elder Yun forcefully pulled the Little Demon Sovereign away, Lord Youshuang warmly embraced the Third Prince’s arm, saying, “Your Highness, I’ve already prepared a banquet to welcome you. Come, come, let’s have a drink. You must tell this old man how you foresaw the enemy’s moves step by step, achieving such unparalleled merit.”

“And your method of using the Sky Mechanism Recording Disk to transmit messages is quite peculiar, allowing this old man to broaden his horizons.”

“Demon Lord, you flatter this junior too much.”

“Your Highness is a great hero of our Demon Dynasty, and no amount of courtesy will be too much for this old man.”

“It’s all thanks to your leadership, Demon Lord.”

“Hahaha~ It’s still because Your Highness is capable in battle.”

In Demonic Base No.2, the hearty laughter of Lord Youshuang resounded.

…

Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty, Immortal Court.

Recently, the Immortal Court, inside and out, was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

The great victory of the “defensive counterattack battle” at Immortal Base No.3 was an exceptionally rare triumph in history, certainly something to be happy about and celebrate.

But today.

The Immortal Emperor suddenly erupted in anger, for reasons unknown, and his voice, filled with majestic wrath, echoed throughout the Immortal Court, “I should never have trusted that damned brat! I should never have trusted him~~~ Issue a decree, Changning Wang Clan’s Wang Ningxi, is forbidden within the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty for a millennium, or else, I’ll personally break his legs!”

“Calm your anger, Your Majesty, please calm your anger~~ Your Majesty, please take care of your health~~”

The civil and military officials working in the Immortal Court were startled, quickly rushing to offer counsel and comfort.

However, this time, the Immortal Emperor was clearly enraged, and his anger lingered long, causing panic throughout the Immortal Court for quite some time.

Meanwhile, as the Immortal Emperor “raged.”

A Yunray Flying Boat quietly left the territory of the Immortal Dynasty.

In the VIP dining area, Wang Ningxi was elegantly entertaining a woman who appeared to be a still-charming [middle-aged beauty].

Don’t be deceived by her well-maintained appearance; in fact, she was already around three thousand five hundred years old.

This lady was nicknamed [Jade Talisman Immortal].

Although her nickname included the character “Immortal,” it did not imply she was a True Immortal Realm cultivator, but rather that her level in the Talisman Dao was comparable to a True Immortal.

Indeed, this [Jade Talisman Immortal] was the head of the crucial [Talisman Hall] of the current Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty, one of the world’s top grandmasters of talismans.

“Ningxi, I am willing to visit Dongqian to see the ’technological sacred land’ you described, but it’s not because of that shameless, cheeky love letter from Old Longchang.” Jade Talisman Immortal said mischievously, blinking, “Please, don’t misunderstand.”

“Of course not.” Wang Ningxi replied with a serious expression, “Our Wang family technological sacred land welcomes Jade Talisman Predecessor’s guidance.”

Saying this, his heart was filled with emotion, and his feelings were extremely complicated.

Nowadays, the family often assigns him strange tasks, and this task of poaching from the Talisman Hall… he couldn’t think of any strategy.

Eventually, he inadvertently learned that Emperor Longchang once saved the life of Jade Talisman Immortal on the extraterritorial battlefield when he was young, and there seemed to be some romantic feelings. However, at that time, Emperor Longchang was already a crowned prince, with numerous consorts and descendants.

No other choice, Wang Ningxi had to pretend to be Emperor Longchang’s messenger…

Oh, Your Majesty, you’ve spent a lifetime toiling for Da Qian, sacrificing so much, surely you won’t mind making that little bit more effort~~
